Living A Lie

Chapter 5

If Jane could describe how she felt in one word she word, it would be aggravation. She's been standing outside of Grace's apartment for a whole minute now. She knows the teen is home because when she knocked the second time music that was once on turned off. Soon the door was opened and before her stood Grace in nothing but an over sized white T.shirt. Jane figured the teen must have just finished showering because not only was her dark wavy hair wet but she could see everything through the now wet T-shirt. She looked away.

"Goodness you are a little slut aren't you?" Jane stated impolitely.

Grace looked down at the floor and swallowed the lump in her throat. Jane was mean to her and she knew she deserved it. She had no idea what warranted that particular comment but she wasn't about to question Jane.

Jane pushed the door open and entered Grace's apartment without asking if she could enter. She'd never been in this apartment before so she took a moment to look around. The apartment wasn't quite furnished the way hers were. It wasn't as big as her's either. She heard the door close behind her before Grace started to speak.

"Jane-"

She silenced her by putting up a hand. Turning around she glared at the teen and could practically feel the fear that vibrated from her. That both satisfied and angered her.

"Listen. Because of you I'm about to lose everything, I don't want to do that, so you're going to help me"

"Of course, I'll do anything" Grace stated rapidly and eagerly.

"Be quiet" Jane snapped. Every time she heard that sweet little voice it angered her even more. At first glance Grace looked like...well, Grace. Like an angel. Like she could do no wrong. She had long wavy brown hair, light blue hair, and a face that emitted innocence. She was extremely soft-spoken and seemed well mannered. That is unless she's sleeping with your husband. Jane didn't see that one coming. Grace was only 5'3 while she herself was 5'7. If someone would have told her a year ago that Grace would be the cause of her family falling apart, she would have bet a million dollars that it wasn't true. When Grace remained silent Jane continued. "You're going to go with me this weekend, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and together we are going to convince my parents, and my family that we are a couple"

"But my Mom wants me to come-"

"So, you're not going to help me keep my job, the one that you jeopardized in the first place?"

Grace sighed. "I will help you"

"Damn right you will. We're leaving tomorrow. Hurry up, get dressed, we're going shopping for the weekend because you're going to be representing me and I don't want you to be dressed like the slut you are. Bring your wallet because you're paying for your own clothes, I'm just picking them out. Be down stairs in 15 minutes" Jane stated before she walked out slamming the door behind her.
